The Senate passed historic gay rights legislation Thursday to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace, another victory for the gay rights movement that has been gaining favor in the courts and electoral politics.

The vote marked the first time lawmakers had approved legislation to advance gay rights since repealing the militarys ban on gay men and lesbians in uniform in late 2010 and came two days after Illinois became the 15th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Just four months ago the U.S. Supreme Court sanctioned federal recognition of legally married gay couples.

So, what exactly do the voters, constituencies, gain with this two-party system? Isn't the opposing party supposed to, uh, oppose? Where one supposedly committed to resisting the very tide in which the social malaise continues to grow, feed off the decadence, effluence from the overflowing sewage that is the liberal left-wing way of life as harbinger to the end of society as we know it. Hey, I've got two words to say in reaction to these Republican Party poopers.

What sort of freedom is that?. The freedom to violate every societal norm, the freedom to commit all sorts of depravity, freedom to co-opt, corrupt the natural way of things. The freedom to indulge in lascivious behavior and worse...

If these people are celebrating freedom, the rest of us will never be free.

Now that the ObamaScare plan is running smoothly, employment is at peak levels and the O'conomy is healthy and robust, the Senate has time to get back to the important business of using Political Correctness to splinter Americans into more and more protected victim groups.

(When a killer screams 'Allahu Akbar' you don't need to be mystified about a motive.)

I'd like to see a list of the 32 senators who stood up to the pink mafia.

Just as an aside, another plant in our company recently found cause to dismiss one of these gender confused freaks. They basically has to give himithisits' own private privy because heit might have sued them if he'dit'd been told to use the men's room. And the genuine ladies might have sued if they were forced to share the facilities with a one manperson freak show.

In the interim, a solution was created by turning the visitors ladies room into hisits' own private privy and escorting real women visitors who needed to use the facilities to the employee women's room.

There wasn't anything heit was contributing that justified the expense of creating and maintaining this situation.

I don’t know, there are several RINOs in the House who would vote for it in a minute. It depends if Boehner allows it for a floor vote or not. If he allows it, it will get 100% Rat approval and enough RINOs to pass.

(From time to time the.tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots.)

I still sent email to both jacks in the Senate and to Rep. Tipton in the House. Both Jacks in the Senate supported it.I wrote that it is Socialism and un-American.I told Tipton the same.I reminded them that Blackstone, Locke, and James Wilson to name three from American history believed when human laws contradict Gods Law /the Laws of Nature/or Revealed Law then human law is in error.It is a violation of Gods Law for government to dictate who one can hire —or fire For a man has property rights that come from God that tell him what he can do with his God given abilities. So the Senate Bill is void.

It would take Boehner allowing a floor vote, plus 18 RINOs voting for it. Anything could happen, but I doubt Boehner would violate the “Hastert rule” here, so soon after doing so on the debt ceiling/CR. He usually follows up his betrayals by pretending to be a conservative for a few months.

There are people in this country stupid enough to believe that discrimination against transgendered kindergarten teachers is a more serious problem in America today than the destruction of our economy and our health care system. And there are MANY such people.

I’d be willing to call a cease fire with the left on social issues so that we could try to find some compromise to fix our economy; however, the left never stops pushing their social agenda, so let the war rage between us. This political contest has no rules and we have been taking full body blows for the last 20 years or longer. We must fight back with tactics they used to topple our previous social compact. We are now the oppressed minority and it’s time we employ the tactics of left to fight the left. Breitbart was our anti-Alinsky. We need to find others like him.

There was a reason why these people should have been done with or at least stay behind their doors.....now it's beyond "spreading" it's infecting entire societies. (Sodom and Gomorah come to mind)...and it won't be long till they all know, without doubt, how God will contend with them and those who encouraged and supported this perversion.......

The problem is that Americans DO NOT UNDERSTAND Marxism, Fascism or Homosexuality in terms of their true natures.

They all claim to want ‘fair treatment’ and ‘equality’.

But that is a lie. Each of those will force it’s way upon those whom they intend to subjugate.

It’s a sad travesty that even among Christians, they do not understand the fact that the Abomination of Homosexuality is not simply because it is a perversion of what God intended sex for, but because it’s root nature is one of pride and deviance so as to force itself on anyone it chooses.

Case-in-Point (and this applies to Marxism and Fascism as well) - Genesis 19.

They will surround your house and demand to have sex with whomever they demand, and if you do not comply, they will seek to break down your doors and rape you and yours.

Because American Christians bought the lie to love and treat as equals, those who push sin and ideas anathema to our Foundations upon society - we are about to be conquered by them.

In fact I had a homo activist tell me almost two decades ago that he loved that Christians held hands and candlelight vigils. Because he said while we do that - they are leapfrogging over us to have their lifestyle shoved down our throats by the courts and the force of law.

He was right, and I was wrong then to think the American Christian would never stand for that.

Employers dont give a crap about your personal stuff if you do a good job. Period.

It's one thing to work in retail. But what about someone openly gay who wants to teach at a religious school? Or work around religious people?

People think it won't come knocking on their doors. After all, why would someone gay (or even liberal) even want to be around a Baptist, Catholic, or Orthodox Jew?

The problem is, there is always the one who wants to make a statement -- flaunt it in everyone's face. An incident occurred recently in NYC when a student from a Catholic school openly brought her "girlfriend" to one of the class events -- then complained to the press that she got expelled.

Company culture is also affected. What about the guy who complains about not being invited to another employee's wedding -- because he can't bring along his partner? Or wonders why no one wants to attend his wedding?

Meant to say:
Every Republican Senator scumbag that voted for this just voted to raise employers cost of doing business, as the gays will now act overtly gay so as to not be hired and then sue the employer.

Suck up time. He knew it would pass anyway so he and McConnell were likely given cover. Recd an email from Susan B. Anthony group. Graham is proposing a stronger anti-abortion bill. Can’t remember all the details. No one should be surprised. Next thing you know he will be sooooooooo against any amnesty. Beware of those bearing conservative appearing gifts when they are up for election.
